Answer:

A. A only

Explanation:

U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) does not allow property, plant, and equipment to be written up or revalued. If the fair value of PP&E falls below the book value and the amount is material then a company must write down the asset to fair value.

Since under US GAAP, once PPE is written, it can not be reversed. as Company B is indicated to have reversed the write down while company A did not. It therefore means that Company A only is reporting under US GAAP.

When the price of chocolate-covered peanuts increases from $1.55 to $2.00, the quantity demanded decreases from 220 to 160. In t
vredina [299]

Answer:

The answer is <em>elastic; decrease</em>

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand (PED) = %change in QD/ %change in price

PED = (2-1.55/1.55 ) * 100 / (160-220/220) *100 = 1.065

PED is elastic

Total revenue before price change = 1.55*220= $341.00

Total revenue after price change = 2* 160 = $320.00

Total revenue decreased by $21.00

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

June 30, 2020   Bond Interest expense      Debit        $5,756.25

                                     Discount on Bonds payable    Credit      $506.25

                                     Cash                                          Credit      $5,250

Explanation:

We have to calculate the interest expense. The bond interest expense = Cash payment + bond amortization discount

Given,

Bond price = $150,000

Interest = 7%

Number of period, n = 10 years × 2 (As it is a semiannual bond) = 20

Cash payment for semiannual interest = $150,000 × 0.07 × (1÷2)

Cash payment for semiannual interest = $5,250 (Credit)

Amortized bond discount (discount on bonds payable) = $10,125 ÷ 20 (as it is a semiannual payment and $10,125 is for 10 years)

Discount on bonds payable = $506.25 (Credit)

Therefore, bond interest expense = $5,250 + $506.25 = $5,756.25 (Debit)

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

-4 units

Explanation:

Using the midpoint method, Blake's income elasticity of demand for generic potato chips is given by the change in demand (D) multiplied by his average income (I), divided by the change in income multiplied by the average demand:

E=\frac{\Delta D}{\Delta I}*\frac{I_{avg}}{D_avg}\\E=\frac{0-2}{15-9}*\frac{\frac{9+15}{2}}{\frac{2+0}{2} }\\E=-4\ units

Blake's income elasticity of demand is -4 units.

The bond has a coupon rate of 6.83 percent, it makes semiannual payments, and there are 4 months to the next coupon payment. A c
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The invoice price for the bond is $1,060.38

Explanation:

Given the following:

PV= Par value = $1,000 ,

CV= Clean Price = $1,049

Coupon Rate per annum = 6.83%

To calculate the Semiannual Coupon Rate= Coupon Rate per annum/2= 3.415%

To calculate Semiannual Coupon= Semiannual Coupon Rate*PV

= 3.415% * $1,000  = $34.15

With an interest accured over 2 months, we calculate it thus:

Accrued Interest = $34.15 * 2/6 = $11.38

To calculate Invoice price:

Invoice Price = CP + Accrued Interest

Invoice Price = $1,049.00 + $11.38

Invoice Price = $1,060.38
